Strength comes through fellowship

Timothy R. Berman

The Lord God has given me
    the tongue of those who are taught,
that I may know how to sustain with a word
    him who is weary.
Morning by morning he awakens;
    he awakens my ear
    to hear as those who are taught.
~ Isaiah 50:4, ESV ~

The greatest challenge Christians face is fulfilling their own calling where it so often goes against present day culture. It takes real courage to represent God in our daily lives. Our calling is to live with integrity, speak truthfully, and witness the love and mercy of our Heavenly Father. This message often goes against modern culture and challenges our courage. Yet, our strength comes through our intimate fellowship with God through Jesus Christ.

We fulfill our calling by listening to God’s divine counsel. It is His awakening voice that we hear. With confidence, we are empowered to walk in the strength of our faith. It is through our openness to His will that is key to our confidence.

Strength through fellowship with God means we are teachable. It means that when we hear God’s voice – however strange and counter-cultural it is – we receive calm assurance. Our hearts are sensitive to Him and we go forth with intense certainty of faith.

  1. I see this: to bloom wherever planted, stand in trust to be taken care of, as Father leads not me

    Been through a lot, still standing, and will go through it all, depending on God to whatever day I leave here this Earth first born on
    Second birth is done4 for me and all to turn to Father in Son for us to be made new and not of self either, even though we try hard to enter into his rest. Only Father in risen Son reveals this to each of his Kids, that do not quit, even if feel as to quit, just do not.

    Thanks as we all continue in his love and mercy of Son for us each to stand and not get lost thanks to his love for us
    To see to be confident
    as in Phil 1:6 tells us this
